[Choir] Muusika lives!

[Bronwyn Fryer]

agreed. We singers need challenges. Ergo, Latin, French, German, etc. with translations in the OOS.
We are up to it and not too old to learn. If we can sing in Estonian we can certainly sing in other languages too. After all, language is music!
love to all
Bronwyn

>> I received two very heartfelt appreciations - one from Brian Predergast, and one from Paul Hartman - for your singing of Muusika this morning. Brian asked (in essence) what makes Estonian choral music so beautiful. Paul wept as he told me that listening to your singing this morning reminded him of going to Canterbury Cathedral.

>> I deeply appreciate that you were able to elevate your singing of Muusika so that it was heard, I think, both as the composer, and all of us, intended. There is no limit to where you can take your listeners!
